Broken Dream

I often write rather raw poems to make myself feel better. This is a vent poem i pounded out on my laptop after being rejected by Lawrenceville. It's a bit rough, but I was more concentrating on the pure emotion of it.

Piece by piece I built my dream The world Of knowledge The world of mine.

The fragile pieces Built of hope Days of labor Nights of work. The dream of mine.

Glued together By trembling hands Yearning Yearning The dream of mine.

How desperate Can one be? World of the brainless Not for me.

There was Hope In that land. The land of knowledge Nerds like me Jewels of knowledge. The dream of mine.

Dream of Hope Sent to that land Hunger for Knowledge For acceptance. The dream of mine.

They’ve seen that dream They really did Yet like many others It was Destroyed Trampled Thrown Tossed Laughed at Rejected.

Yet the most of all, It was shattered. Broken into shards, Bits and shards of a lost dream, The dream of mine.

Shattered dream Sent back to me Veiled with words Such sweet, disguising words. This dream of mine.

Trembling hands Tried gluing back The shattered shards Bits and shards of a lost dream. The world of mine.
